A simple after-work chest & shoulder release.

If you spend a lot of your day with your arms in front of you (computer, phone, driving, etc.) the chest and shoulders can start to feel pretty tight. These are a few movements I like to do to open things back up and bring some space into the upper body after a long day.

Nothing complicated, just simple shapes that help stretch the chest, shoulders, and arms.

1️⃣ Supported Chest Opener on Blocks
2️⃣ Open Book Twist
3️⃣ Extended Puppy Pose with Blocks (triceps stretch)
4️⃣ Wide Tabletop Shoulder Rotation Taps
5️⃣ Side-to-Side Extended Puppy Pose

Save this for after work, after a workout, or anytime your shoulders feel tight.

Mobility is about strength and control, not just flexibility.
It’s about strength, control, and awareness inside your range.
In this class, we play with weighted mobility, flowing between light strength work and stretches so your body can explore movement instead of forcing it. The weight gives feedback to your joints and muscles, helping you build active range of motion, not just passive flexibility.

This kind of work is powerful because it:
-Builds strength where you actually move
-Helps joints feel more supported and stable
-Improves coordination and body awareness
-Makes stretching feel more intentional and useful

This is a 20-minute flow that blends weighted exercises with moments to stretch, pause, and explore. It’s perfect before a workout to prep your body, or on a day off when you want to move without overdoing it.

The full class is up on my Youtube channel.
All you need is a yoga block and a light kettlebell or dumbbell.
